Re: [RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

That would be my Goodrich with Rohloff # 5841. I have had the hub for about 12 years, gosh knows how many trouble free miles. The hub itself has been through heck and back, several 24 hour solo mountain bike races (different bike, ) two unsuccessful attempts at Trans Iowa, many a winter rides,

Re: [RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

Ouch, over $300 just for the shifters. Imagine that is why Rohloff sticks with the grip shifters. Probably quite complicated piece of kit. Five years ago (former Riv customs builder) Curt Goodrich came up with a Rohloff shifter that could be brazed on a down tube. He called it Das Knob.

Re: [RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

Nice build, Keith. My fat bike doesn't wear out chains, it destroys them. Mainly it's chain suck, but it also broke a chain when I bent the *&#! out for my rear derailleur. I went with Wippermann chains because the S1 and SX chains are mostly stainless, and I really like their quick links. I'm

Peter White now sells Cinq shifters for Rohloff made by Tout (a couple frames from the top). Not sure if you can get without a Tout, but worth a try maybe. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Re: [RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

That's what finally prompted me to get one, Tim. As I said, I'm a true believer and have been since the first speedhub was released, but could never convince myself to get one until they came out with the XL Unlike most people, the thing that always kept me away was the grip shifter. I stil

Re: [RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

Personally, I'm tempted by a Rohloff for winter use. I've had lots or trouble with derailleur drivetrains with ice and snow. My dream build: Titanium frame 4-5" fat tires Rohloff hub Enclosed chain case, or Gates belt drive My current fat bike eats chains regularly; that's expensive, especially

[RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

Curious: Since modern derailleur drivetrains are so amazingly reliable -- I can speak with certainty of 9 speeds and with some confidence about 10 speeds, and these both frictioned and indexed -- what is the value of Rohloff if you are not doing a world tour? I'm curious as an onlooker -- I have n

[RBW] Rohloff IGH Questions

I'm looking for a rider who is experienced with the Rohloff hub to respond to some questions I have. I recently converted a Simpleone to a Rohloff and have been riding it for about a week, a couple of hundred miles. The experience is different than I expected -- more challenging -- and I want
